Background: This study evaluates dosimetric and spatial variations in inter–fraction applicator positioning in high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: This study includes 25 retrospective patients of carcinoma of the cervix. Each patient received 5 fractions of HDR intracavitary brachytherapy. High Risk-Clinical Target Volume (HR-CTV) were drawn on CT images. First impl...

Context. Vesta is the second largest body of the main asteroid belt, and it has been studied recently in great detail by the Dawn mission. It was the first time that this asteroid, or protoplanet, has been explored by a space mission, and it revealed a differentiated body. The knowledge of the rotational motion and, especially, its precession-nutation and length-of-day variations may add precio...

1. The photogate, connected with the Smart Timer was set across the Main Platter, with one strip of paper taped to block the photogateonce in every revolution. The photogate was set in the Time Fence. The mass of the Main Platter M(kg) and radius of the Main Platter and its pulleys were measured with mass balance and vernier callipers. Then a string, with one end tied to a hanger with a 100 g m...

A novel rotational motion compensation algorithm for high-resolution inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging based on golden section search (GSS) method is presented. This paper focuses on the migration through cross-range resolution cells (MTCRRC) compensation, which requires rotation angle and center as priori information. The method performs in a nonparametric way and uses entropy cr...

Background:  The glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. The most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. Imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

Introduction In this experiment you will examine the energetics of vibrational and rotational motion in the diatomic molecule HCl. The experiment involves detecting transitions between different molecular vibrational and rotational levels brought about by the absorption of quanta of electromagnetic radiation (photons) in the infrared region of the spectrum. The introductory discussion consists ...

A new type of micro-joint based on an elastic design concept is proposed for large rotational movement. The proposed new 3D micro-joint was designed based on a cross-spring that has precise and reliable motion. However, the cross-spring has a limitation in the range of rotational angle. To improve the range of rotational movement, the proposed 3D micro-joint was modified with a helical structur...

We investigated how interactions between monocular motion parallax and binocular cues to depth vary in human motion areas for wide-field visual motion stimuli (110 × 100°). We used fMRI with an extensive 2 × 3 × 2 factorial blocked design in which we combined two types of self-motion (translational motion and translational + rotational motion), with three categories of motion inflicted by the d...
